Failure comes to us sometimes. Last term, I met a painful failure, and it helped us find a new self. Before the final exam, I have promised my parents that I would get the best marks in all my subject. However, I did not listen to my teachers careful in class and paid little attention at my homework. As result, I failed two of my most favorite subjects, math and physics, which surprised everyone. Look back, I realized that it was my overconfidence which led to my failure. Only if we are modest but work hard will we have the chance to achieve our goals.

My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole£® Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety£®

Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: ¡°Your son is OK£®¡±

When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine£®

I hurried over to him£® "You OK?"I asked£®

¡°Yeah,¡± was all he said£® But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest£®

The story was this: A woman was being swept under water£® Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.

In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who makes it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centered, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.

Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, ¡°What's for supper?¡±

I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.

A£®He was an excellent swimmer.

B£®The water of the river is shallow.

C£®The rocks can be of help if there's danger.

2.The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means ________.

A£®Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks

B£®Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids

C£®Anton always has a desire to help others

D£®Anton seldom changes his mind

3.In the mother's eyes, what her son did was ________.

A£®dangerous but interesting

B£®unexpected and courageous

C£®meaningful but difficult

D£®awful and absurd

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

Speaking in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees. As well, it is a difficult task for them, especially for non-native speakers. A great many researchers have made efforts to help foreign language learners to improve the approaches.

Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant. Currently, he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center. He has also written books on the subject. English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech.

In Speaking of Speech Mr. LeBeau says a simple approach helps the learners. So, the professor divides public speaking into three parts: the physical message, the visual message, and the story message. He says, ¡°The central thing to remember about public speaking or presentation is that it¡¯s a very complex communicative activity. For non-native speakers it¡¯s a really scary activity. So to make that more simplistic and easy for them, the approach that I¡¯ve taken is to simplify and break it down. First if we look at presentation, what¡¯s going on? There are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience at the same time. There¡¯s what I call the physical message, namely body language. It¡¯s the way that my body, as a speaker, is talking to the audience. Then there¡¯s also the visual message. The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show the audience. The third message is the story message, which is the content of our presentation. The story message is the verbal message, what we say to the audience. The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience.¡±

He says the simple approach to breaking down the parts of public speaking has proved itself. He says learners improve quickly and do a good presentation after a few days of study.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

___1.__ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person¡¯s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (ºÉ¶ûÃÉ). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ___2.___

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

__3._ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, ¡°__4.___ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.¡±

A. Anger may cause you a cancer.

B. Do not express your anger while angry.

C. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.

D. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

E. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.

F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.

G. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.

In the frozen continent of Antarctica scientists fear an alien invasion ¡ª not from outer space, but carried in people¡¯s pockets and bags.

Seeds and plants accidentally brought to Antarctica by tourists and scientists may introduce alien plant species which could threaten the survival of native plants in the finely balanced ecosystem.

¡°The people that were carrying the most had lots and lots of seeds. They really were real threats,¡± said Dana Bergstrom, from the Australian Antarctic Division.

¡°When we take things in through hitchhiking£¨´î³µÂÃÐУ© then we get species which are competitive. The plants and animals there are not necessarily competitive, so we¡¯d start losing various precious biodiversity£¨ÉúÎï¶àÑùÐÔ£© on the (Antarctic) continent¡±, Bergstrom told Reuters.

Amongst the alien species discovered were the Iceland Poppy, and Annual Winter Grass ¡ª all from cold climates and capable of growing in Antarctica.

The Antarctic Peninsula, where most tourists travel, is now considered a ¡°hot spot¡± on the frozen continent and the warmer the climate, the easier for seeds to grow. ¡°The peninsula(°ëµº) is warming at some of the greatest rates on the planet,¡± said Bergstrom.

The study, the first continent-wide assessment of invasive species in Antarctica, surveyed about 1,000 passengers during 2007-2008, the first year of the International Polar Year, an international effort to research the polar areas.

Bergstrom said the one alien seed that had gained a foothold is Annual Winter Grass. It is a strong weed in the sub-Antarctic and is on the Antarctic island of King George. It has also made its way to the tail part of the Antarctic continent.
